Ethiopian Coffee anyone ???

Just wanted to pass along a great raffle for a great cause.

There was a dear family whom we had the privilege of traveling with when we went to Ethiopia to bring Malachi home. They were adopting a little boy at the same time .... and to be honest, had they called in sick, I would've snuck him in my luggage in a heartbeat not caring about the consequences of smuggling a child out of country.

Anyway, moving on from my law-breaking tendencies .... they are bringing home another child from Ethiopia soon .... a daughter this time! The husband (Tom) traveled to Ethiopia a little while ago on a mission trip (which you can read more about if you want) and brought home some Ethiopian coffee (tastiest coffee on earth, let me tell you!) and an authentic Ethiopian "coffee pot". They are raffling off 3 bags of coffee and the pot in support of their adoption. Buying 5 or 10 tickets just means you maybe need to not go to Starbucks this week ... but on the bright side, you could win 3 bags of coffee so you don't have to go to Starbucks for a month ! (Or 2 weeks if you drink coffee like I do !)

About Me

First off - I'm a follower of Jesus Christ. Everything I am and all I have comes from Him. I do everything through Him, and strive to give it all back to Him. I am loved with a never ending love by the One who created it all. I'm a mom to 5 amazing children. I'm passionate about family, marriage, adoption, health, and community. I enjoy writing, running, singing, cycling, snuggling with my dogs on the couch, wine, and coffee. But mostly I love being with people. I run my own business helping others regain their health. I am married to the most amazing man on the planet (sorry girls) since July of '99. We are both musicians - he really is, I just fake it. He's a Pastor, which I suppose makes me a Pastor's wife. We entered the world of church planting the summer of 2014. He's the best dad any kid could have (sorry Dad), and I love him with all of my heart.
Welcome to my world!
